Capel-Le-Ferne
Coach Colin Carrott organises this
event every year and each year it gets better then ever this year it
was run in conjunction with Capel-Le-Ferne Village Fete. Many of us
forget hundreds of years ago village fetes would included Wrestling,
Boxing, feats of strengths and Sporting events, some parts of the UK
still do this I.e Cornwall and the Scottish Highlands. Sadly this is
not the case in Kent that is until Colin and Spitfire started it
again, Colin tells me next year he will have two mats and will
include Judo, Combat Wrestling, Sport Sambo and Kent Belt Wrestling
 |
| Coin Carrot referees Oleg |
The Fete had the usual stalls plus a
Farmers Market and re-enactment of British Soldiers from the
Napoleonic wars which made the Judo interesting especially when they
had a Musket Volley
This year there was 80 entries which
were spread from over the Country it was pleasing see that 19 year
old Adam Dodds had taken over from his father Russell in supporting
the event he and the Bedford Grappling Academy were very supportive
of this event. We also saw Darren Richardson travelling up from the
West Country, Oleg Siblov who runs the Mixed Style Sambo Club brought
many fighters from his club in London to try for the first time Judo
in which they done extremely well. His club proved that you can do
several styles of Grappling and still succeed. Oleg came to the UK 15
years ago and has now become a British Citizen and will be competing
in the World Masters Sambo for GB in October, he also won the Judo
Masters in style. Oleg Club is like the United Nations he had players
from Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Canada. Although I am
against immigration into this Country these lads proved that by
interrogating into local events you become accepted by the local
population which these guys done. Oleg has even got the British Sense
of humour stating he arrived in a Container, he certainly fits in
with the IBF/BCSA family
 |
| The throw famous by Van De Walle Olympic medallist is banned from new Judo |
I would like to thank all the officials
especially the referees who chose to use the old rules of Judo and
rather then hand out loads of penalties they would stop the Contest
and explain the infringement. The referees just wore their normal
summer clothes which made the event less pompous and more informal
which went down well with the audience and judoka

| Good Judo from the Girls |

Faversham Open Judo
FAVERSHAM OPEN JUDO COMPETITION
On Sunday
April 26th 2015 Faversham
Judo Club held its Annual Open Judo Club at Abbey Sports Hall, Abbey School.
The sports hall is an ideal Venue for a tournament like this, it is big enough
to have two Judo size mat areas with plenty of spectator space in fact at a
push 3 mats could be used. It has been suggested that the IBF Multi Nation Judo
Championships maybe staged at the School in 2016/17, this would a great coup
for the Faversham Club who ran an exceptional competition and I am sure they
would be a great host for the International Tournament.
 |
| Young Ladies Action |
The
Faversham club is well over 40 years old and has recently seen a revival of
Judo in fact all IBF Clubs have seen increase in Judo membership which is great
for the sport
 |
| Faversham Coaches Sue Tanner-George Holbrook-Trevor Davies |
The main organisers
for this event were Trevor Davies, George Holbrook and Miles Brown and I know
they would want to thank all the helpers. With over 200 people present it had
to be run just right and it was. The event started at (.30am with a demonstration
of Kime No Kata by Greg Garside 4th Dan and Tim Thomas 3rd
Dan and the whole event finished at 2.30pm.
 |
| A happy Winner |
There was
many good fights during the Day and it was good to see more Judoka acting as
referees but I would like to see the return of a referee and 2 judges rather
then 1 referee, Miles tells me he will be running a Referees course in the near
future so hopefully this will change. Another pleasing thing was that they used
Old Judo rules i.e. rules that were used before the recent International rules
were imposed by the IJF. These rules have been very controversial and many
believe they have been to the detriment to Judo as a whole

| Finals Kyu Grade Open Referee Miles Brown |
The next
Competiotion at Faversham will be in October and I expect it will be bigger and
better
